Encouraging Others Through Christ

Cliff Ravenscraftwww.cliffravenscraft.com
Launched in 2006 as About The Church, this podcast has evolved over nearly two decades into a sacred space for authentic spiritual exploration, transformation, and awakening. Hosted by Cliff Ravenscraft, Encouraging Others Through Christ speaks directly to those navigating deconstruction, spiritual awakening, and the deep remembrance of divine truth. This isn’t a Christian podcast in the traditional sense. It’s a Christ-centered transmission rooted in Presence, not performance. Here, no question is off limits. No belief is untouchable. And no path is too unconventional to be holy. A note about the archives (Episodes 001–134): These earlier episodes were recorded during Cliff’s time within evangelical Christianity. While they reflect a different theological lens than the one he holds today, they are preserved in full as sacred breadcrumbs, a living record of his evolving relationship with God. What you’ll hear is a heart that was always seeking truth, even when the language was different. These episodes are not outdated, they are foundational. They reveal the journey, not just the destination. From Episode 135 onward, the podcast continues with a renewed frequency, exploring Christ consciousness, mysticism, intuition, Light Language, inner child healing, and the deeper, esoteric teachings of Jesus. Cliff shares personal reflections, courageous questions, and soul-anchored conversations with guests who have walked their own winding paths through awakening and deconstruction. Whether you’re in the midst of spiritual transition, emerging from inherited faith systems, or simply hungry for a voice that speaks to your deepest knowing, Encouraging Others Through Christ is here to say: You are not alone. You are not broken. And you don’t have to hide anymore. This podcast is for those who still love Jesus but no longer know how to explain it. For those who long to follow the voice within, and trust it is the voice of God. Encouraging Others Through Christ is not here to tell you what to believe. It’s here to remind you that you already know.
